In the past year, both the downtown used book store and the main game and hobby shop in Rochester have closed. Thankfully, the other used book store is still open. It also sells comics and some games. I stopped in last night to pick up the latest issue of Mouse Guard and was pleased to find several classic fantasy books for dirt cheap.
Phantastes by George MacDonald
Lilith by George MacDonald
Wisdom's Daughter by H. R. Haggard
The World's Desire by H. R. Haggard
A Princess of Mars by E. R. Burroughs
The Dungeon, vol 1 by Richard Lupoff ("Written under the creative auspices of Philip Jose Farmer". Maybe not a classic, but seems to have a "lost world" pulp vibe to it.)
Also grabbed a Warhammer 40k 3rd edition rulebook for three notes. Might never have a use for it but it has all those swell pics of painted minis, at least.
I hope this little used book shop survives the tough economic times, so I'm trying to spend a few more bucks there. On the other hand, maybe these kinds of stores do well when folks are looking for cheaper entertainment options.
